Aerovodochody L-39C
The L-39 Albatros is a military training aircraft built by the Czechoslovak firm Aero Vodochody, which succeeded the Aero L-29 Delfin as the standard training aircraft for Warsaw Pact forces.
Although the end of the Soviet Union caused sales of this aircraft, with its L-59 and L-139 derivatives, to fall by more than 80%, it remained the most widespread jet trainer in the world at the beginning of 2006. It has also become a popular warbird.
​
An ideal machine for learning formation flying, military aerobatics and instrument flying, it has conquered many countries both in terms of reliability and performance.
​
The splendid vision in the back seat makes it also an attractive aircraft to discover our alpine landscapes.
